How complex neural circuits are genetically designed and wired is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Scientists have ...
A new technology called LinCx allows scientists to create custom electrical connections between neurons with high precision.
A 3D network of living neurons and electronics can recognize electrical patterns and may help researchers study both brain ...
It is a dogma in neuroscience that certain brain cells respond in the same way to the same thing. Specific neurons always fire, for example, when we see particular shapes and colours; other neurons ...
Scientists use machine learning and SPERRFY to decode the genetic wiring map that guides neural connections across the entire ...
Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to identify a pattern of gene expression that can be used to predict whether or ...
The ability to sense regular patterns is fundamental to making sense of the world. Stimulus from the environment activates a group of neurons in the frontoparietal region of the brain called the ...
The eye works by focusing light on the back of the eye, which contains light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors. This activates electric signals, which are transmitted through the layers of neurons ...
A computer chip modeled after the human brain just solved the kind of math that keeps fighter jets from shaking apart in ...
